We’re pleased to announce that we have arranged for Charlie Miller to come to Spokane, Washington to run a 2-day skill development camp, teaching players and coaches the same skills and strategies that he used with pro players like Joe Johnson, Raja Bell, Bruce Bowen, Carlos Arroyo, and dozens of other NBA and European players.
What will players get out of the camp?
This camp uses the Attack & Counter Skill Development System to help you develop the KEY skills that you need to become a great basketball player.
You will learn the same critical and universal skills that he teaches to NBA players. These fundamental skills are universal for all levels. They will help you no matter what defense or offense you use. That’s the great thing about fundamentals. They help you in all situations. Here’s a brief summary of the skills and topics that will be covered…
Footwork
You will learn how to improve your footwork. This is probably the most under-practiced, misunderstood, and most important skill of all. You will learn how to practice footwork in a completely new (and simpler) way. You’ll also learn how footwork carries over into games and how it makes you better.
Mentality
During the camp, players will learn Don Kelbick’s Attack and Counter Strategy. As the name implies, this system encourages an aggressive mentality. Players will learn important mental aspects of the game including aggressiveness, building confidence, reducing the fear of failure, shooting mentality, work ethic, how to be mentally tough, more focused, and get an edge on the competition.
Post Moves and Finishing Inside
Learn the proper footwork, mentality, and strategies to score in the post and various situations near the basket. This applies to both guard and post players. There is a heavy emphasis on footwork and you’ll learn how to become a more dominate scorer inside.
Guard Play
You will learn how the Attack and Counter Fundamentals allow you to easily beat defenders off the dribble, create space for your shot, and score off the dribble. This allows you to create space, make good decisions, and get your shot off when you want.
Ball handling
Learn how to improve your ball-handling skills — this includes dribbling, passing, decision making, and reducing turnovers.
Fast Break Skills
Learn proper footwork in fast break situations and improve your ability to score in transition. You’ll improve footwork, mentality, and ability to score on the run.
Shooting
Learn how to improve your footwork and mentality to increase your shooting percentage. Through high rep shooting drills, we will teach you how to be more consistent and effective with your feet, how to be more confident, how to be mentally tough, and how to become a better shooter.
Screening and Cutting – Getting Open
Learn how to move without the ball and get open so you can score more points. Coach will teach you proper footwork and concepts when using screens and cutting. No matter what team you play for, learning how to read screens and move without the ball will help you get more easy scoring opportunities. This is an important skill for all players to learn. Coach will teach you how to move without the ball, get open for easy shots, and score on the move.
As you can see, this clinic focuses heavily on footwork and mentality, which we believe are the two most important aspects to becoming a better player.
We promise that players and coaches will learn dozens of new tips and techniques that will make them better. Don Kelbick’s methods are very simple, yet unique. You just won’t get this stuff in other places.
It’s all about helping you develop the KEY skills that you need to become a great basketball player.
Format of the Camp
You will learn these fundamental skills by participating in a “Show and Go” format…
Show – During the camp Coach will show you the key drills and the skills you need to work on. He will explain and demonstrate the key details of each specific skill to the entire group. He will teach you the skills, strategies, and concepts. He’ll show the “little things” that are important.
Go – Then you’ll break off into groups to work with designated coaches in your area. There will be other coaches helping you with break down drills. Coach will also walk around working with players and coaches at this time. You will work hard at practicing the new skill and learning how to incorporate the skill into games.
This will be repeated throughout most of the camp as we introduce new skills and concepts.
We will run lots of drills and players will get lots of repetitions. You’ll get LOTS of touches with the ball and it will be fast paced.
After skills are practiced, we will also put players in competitive break down drills. This allows players to apply and refine their newly-learned skills. Most of the competitive break downs are lots of fun, but they are different (and we believe more effective) than the standard 5-on-5 games that you see at other camps.
What Will Coaches Learn?
You will learn the same things as the players. As an “observing coach” you can view the entire camp and take notes. You’ll pick up lots of new drills, fundamentals, and strategies that will give you an edge over the competition. We guarantee you will learn lots of new things from our Lead Director.
How is This Camp Different Than Other Camps?
You’ll experience 5 key differences in this camp:
- You get to work with an NBA development coach. How many players get to do that?!!
- 99% of the camp is focused on skill development and competitive situations. Many of the camps these days play a lot of 5-on-5 games and do little skill development. Sure that can be fun and you need to get game experience… BUT do you really think most of your improvement happens during games? Of course not. You still need to play in game-like situations to apply your newly-learned skills, but most of the off-season should be spent on skill development.
Great players became great by practicing skills. We want you to get better so we focus on skills and put you in competitive situations. Most of the competitive break downs are lots of fun, but it’s different than the standard 5-on-5 games that you see at other camps.
- You will learn how to practice on your own! We are firm believers that it’s important to teach you how to practice on your own. He believes that “knowledge is power”. He strives to teach drills that you can use at home or in the gym on your own.
- You will learn about new and unique drills, concepts, and skills that you probably won’t see anywhere else. This curriculum has a unique, out-of-the-box method to teaching basketball skills. Not to mention he understands a lot of critical concepts that few coaches, players, and parents understand. He will teach you something new, guaranteed.
- You learn about footwork and mentality which is rarely taught or understood by players and coaches. You will learn a very unique and simple way to apply the same footwork to post moves, perimeter moves, dribbling moves, getting open, using screens, playing defense, and more.
Who can attend?
The camp is for male and female high school players, and mature 7th & 8th graders. No exceptions are made for younger players.
This is for SERIOUS basketball players that want to get better. You can play games anywhere, so we focus on things you can’t just pick up anywhere. We focus on developing skills that will make you better!
Coaches that want to learn and pick up new drills can also observe (coaches can find more info below).

If you would like your child to increase their shooting confidence so they can get more playing time and become the ‘go-to’ player on their team, this camp will show them how.
We can’t magically make your child a great shooter in 2 days, but we can help them create a personalized shooting workout that’s guaranteed to improve performance if followed consistently.
This camp is open to male and female players entering 7th – 12th Grade.
We limit sessions to 64-96 players, depending on gym size, in order to maximize each player’s experience. Other camps are often 2-3 times this size, but we don’t take any more players than our camp director can know by name.
Our sessions fill up and we turn away lots of players each fall, so don’t wait to sign up.
Day 1
Camp starts at 2:00pm and ends at 8:00pm.
Day 2
Camp starts at 10:00am and ends at 4:00pm.
Each day includes interactive classroom and video sessions, as well as action-packed gym sessions.
Note: There is a short meal break each day for players to eat a bag lunch/dinner or for parents to drop off food.
At many camps, the Director is a celebrity athlete or coach who lends his or her name to the program — but little else.
At PGC camps, the Director personally leads every session and takes the time to know every player by name.
Our team of Instructors will be there to inspire and support your child through every session. Our Instructors are typically PGC grads who have played college basketball and coach high school or college basketball.
“I have worked with some great teachers of the game, however, this week at PGC, I observed the best teacher I’ve ever seen. The sessions were powerful, purposeful, and efficient. Not a session went by where I wasn’t thrilled with the content and delivery. I can’t tell you how impressed I am with PGC.”

Join us at the Inland Northwest Showcase Youth Volleyball Clinic. Saturday, May 11 from 9:30-11:30am.
This clinic will be led by coaches from Whitworth University under the direction of Head Coach, Kati Bodecker, and staffed by the All-League players participating in the Showcase. This is a fantastic opportunity to learn from a collegiate coach and top high school players from the region.
Clinic participants will be split into age/skill appropriate groups. The clinic will teach the skills and techniques necessary to play volleyball through fun drills, exercises and games that focus on passing, setting, hitting and serving.
This clinic is for boys and girls ages 8-14.
About Coach Bodecker:
Entering her ninth year as head volleyball coach, Kati Bodecker continues to rack up Northwest Conference championships for Whitworth University. After a third place finish in her first season, the Pirates have claimed four NWC titles and two runner-up finishes in the next six seasons under Bodecker. Whitworth earned back-to-back-to-back NWC championships from 2014-2016 and won again in 2019. The Pirates finished second in the NWC in both 2017 and 2018. Whitworth also posted the best record in the NWC (10-2) during the COVID schedule of 2020-21. Bodecker has posted an overall record of 140-59 (.703) in her eight years guiding the Bucs, 101-23 (.814) in conference play. Only Steve Rupe (213, 1999-2012) and JoAnn Atwell-Scrivner (177, 1979-84) have won more matches at Whitworth than Bodecker.
Bodecker has guided 18 Whitworth players to All-Northwest Conference recognition, including NWC Players of the Year Maddye Dinsmore (2014), Jessica Schmautz (2018) and Emiko Kahler (2019).
Bodecker came to Whitworth after six successful seasons as the head volleyball coach of the Priest River Lamanna high school program. During her time at the helm, the Spartans posted five winning seasons and five state tournament appearances. Her teams finished second in the Intermountain League and in the district four of five years, and in 2012 the Spartans not only tied for first in the league, but they also finished as the Idaho 3A runner-up at the state tournament. She was named league Coach of the Year in 2007 and Idaho Co-Coach of the Year in 2012.
Bodecker also served as an assistant under former Whitworth head coach Steve Rupe in 2007 while she worked toward her Master’s Degree in teaching, with an endorsement in secondary English.
A graduate of Lakeside High School in Nine Mile Falls, Bodecker received an athletic scholarship to the University of Idaho, where she was a four year starter. On the all-time Vandals leaders list, Bodecker is eighth in kills per set and tied for ninth in single season kills. She led the team in three categories in 2004—kills, kill attempts and kills per set. Under the direction of head coach Debbie Buchanan, Bodecker earned a spot on the All-Big West Conference First Team and led the Vandals to back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances as a sophomore and junior. Idaho broke an eight year drought in 2003, as the volleyball program earned its first NCAA postseason bid since 1995.
